Fr. Michael writes:-Today’s Gospel shows Jesus present with his disciples in a boat in the midst of a storm. In the same way we believe that Jesus accompanies us on our journey to God, that he is “on board” with us. Sometimes we see such disorder and chaos around our world, we might wonder if Jesus has chosen to sleep – even though we know that his presence is no insurance against our own fear and anxiety. To journey with Jesus is to journey through storms, not around them. Our peace will at times be
disturbed. But, we know that the disciples of Jesus went on to face shipwreck and hardship and rejection. Ultimately, many of them came face to face with a violent death and martyrdom. What kept them going is what keeps us going: a strenuous belief that Jesus is Lord of all chaos, a stubborn faith which tells us that there is no storm that will not be stilled at last by the peace of his presence.

Holy Spirit.

with ever deeper faith the
Bread of Life.
Strengthened through
these gifts

your presence
to the world of today.
Father, hear our
humble prayer
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
Change of date –

Black Ties; welcome drink; buffet supper; super raffle; photographer available. Dancing until 11.30 pm then carriages. Tickets
£ 15.00 each. Only 130 tickets available. Please book your tickets now from Elsbeth Baxter
Parish Talk
We conclude our series on the moral teaching of John Paul II with someone who has really put the Gospel of Life into practice. Clare McCullough set up the Good Counsel Network in a flat in Earl’s Court nine years ago offering help to young women to keep their babies. In that time she and other volunteers have seen 3,000 young women and, through prayer and God’s grace, helped save hundreds of lives. Come and hear her remarkable story at 8.00 pm this Tuesday in the Hesdin Hall.
Parish Picnic The Parish Picnic will take place on Sunday 16th July as arranged from 1.00 pm - 4.00 pm. Five a side competitions; rounders; fun races for all ages. Bring your own picnic to College Fields behind Eastcote Hockey Club. Licenced Bar will be available and toilet facilities of the Hockey Club.
